From 1 January 2019 the Group has adopted accounting standard IFRS 16 "Leasing" which has led to changes in accounting policies and in some cases adjustments to the amounts recognized in the Financial Statements. The comparative figures for 2018 have not been restated while the figures for the period in question are affected by the application of the aforementioned principle. In order to ensure effective comparability with the economic, equity and financial results of 2018, the effects on the comparative analyses deriving from the application of IFRS 16 adopted from 1 January 2019 are evidenced on the following slide.
